This is a goal-oriented, intensive, program to help couples get
un-stuck and break problem patterns, find solutions, communicate
effectively, and create a path to move forward. The duration of
sessions and amount may be tailored to each couple, with an average of
10 recommended.

Couple Coaching is different from therapy in that goals are
established and quickly achieved through longer, intensive sessions. In
traditional couple therapy, change usually unfolds over time.
Additionally, couples have busy work and family lives, and coaching
sessions fit in better because they have a clear end in sight.

* Some couples may need the support of individual therapy to help
process discoveries, new insight, and new ways of relating, resulting
from coaching sessions.

Couples Coaching works great for:

Communication Changes: Coaching can help couples
learn to communicate from a respectful, conscious place, where
intention is used to set the frame of a discussion. Problem patterns of
blaming, defending, dismissing, stonewalling, and reactivity are not
allowed in the process. Ellen has a compassionate, supportive, and
directive style which equalizes the power dynamic in the couple and
provides for a safe space for clients to communicate, which often feels
very different from arguments at home.

Life Transitions: Some couples need assistance
around life changing events such as career changes, birth of a child,
caregiver issues, commitment, parenting, and cultural/ religious
differences. Roles and boundaries may need to be renegotiated, and
coaching provides the space to do so.

Commitment: Coaching can help couples who are stuck
in a place before formal commitment such as engagement, marriage, or
domestic partnership. Anxiety, doubt, fear and ambivalence around
decisions to commit are explored and resolved.

Separation and Divorce: When parents decide to work
together to end their relationship, children benefit from reduced
emotional trauma and solid parenting plans, knowing that both parents
are deeply concerned at providing the best possible outcome to a very
difficult situation.

Mediation: Ellen is trained in Mediation and
Collaborative Divorce and can work with your attorney (Mediator or
Collaborative Divorce Attorney) to help resolve conflicts and come to a
settlement arrangement.

Decision Making: Sometimes couples need help to
make life-changing decisions and can’t seem to do it on their own.
Coaching session can be tailored around an event or specific
time-period to help couples come to an agreement.

Why Double Sessions?
Sessions last 90 minutes to allow enough time to open difficult topics
and conversations, to get to the deeper core of issues, to truly hear
and understand one another, to resolve differences on the issue/topic,
and close the session in a safe contained way so couples don’t leave in
the middle of an argument. The 10 session couple coaching program is
equivalent to 20 sessions of therapy.
